Chapter 322

Their gazes were filled with wonder; they did not expect it to be Gao Yang again!

Gao Yang could not hide anymore; he could only face the hundred officials and reveal a kind smile.

"My lords, please rest assured. Gunpowder is only for Da Qian. I, your subject, never hold grudges!"

But this smile instantly made the faces of Xu Xuanji, Lu Wen, and the others turn pale.

This was a bit like "there is no silver buried here." Who asked you if you hold grudges, and that it is only for Da Qian?

Suddenly hearing this, to be honest, they were quite panicked!

Especially the officials who had feuds with Gao Yang; they felt their scalps go numb. They looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Not holding grudges?

Prince Rong and Wu Cheng believed it, but the grass on their graves was likely already growing.

Wu Zhao, watching this group of officials who had been thwarted—and who had constantly submitted memorials to negotiate—felt great!

Gao Yang understood her too well!

The expressions on the faces of these civil officials were a joy for her to behold!

Soon, Lu Zhen returned to Changancheng, his face full of gratification.

His face was covered in black soot, but that face, which was extremely terrifying in the dark night, was full of an irrepressible smile.

"Old General Lu, what are the results?"

Lu Zhen was full of spirit. "Your Majesty, this old subject has not failed your mission. The Chu army camp is in chaos and has suffered heavy losses!"

"Some Chu soldiers hadn't even woken up and didn't believe our army was launching a surprise attack, so they were thrown grenades by our army and blown to the heavens!"

"Furthermore, this old subject set a fire. Borrowing the east wind, the Chu army camp was burned. After this battle, the probability of our army holding out until reinforcements arrive is extremely high!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhen's words, the smile on Wu Zhao's face grew even richer, as if the giant boulder in her heart had suddenly fallen.

Changancheng was truly being revitalized, bit by bit!

"However, of our eight hundred men, over one hundred died in battle!"

When Lu Zhen said this, his eyes dimmed.

Wu Zhao was full of solemnity and said earnestly, "These are all good sons of my Da Qian. I will issue five times the pension to ensure their families are provided for!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhen's face was full of excitement.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang also took another look at Wu Zhao. It seemed he had previously held some prejudices against her.

This Empress, though ruthless in her actions, had merits that could not be ignored.

"Your Majesty, this subject believes that this object is powerful and must be strictly guarded!"

A group of censors bowed, their faces solemn!

The hundred officials echoed the sentiment in unison.

This thing was too dangerous, but what made them feel most dangerous was Gao Yang himself!

Damn it, what if they offended him in the future and were blown to the heavens directly?

Gao Yang also had a stern face. "This subject agrees!"

"Anyway, I guarantee that I definitely do not hold grudges, and I absolutely will not use this thing to blow people up. You must ensure that no evildoers steal it and then slander me!"

"I, your subject, fear slander the most!"

Following Gao Yang's righteous words, the hundred officials looked at him in unison.

They all swallowed a mouthful of saliva!

At this moment, they had the feeling that Gao Yang was already finding excuses in advance for blowing people up! ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
